DOHA: Mohamed Salah Elneel scored twice as Al Markhiya beat Al Shamal 4-1 in their Emir Cup second round match on Tuesday .   At the Grand Hamad Stadium, Elneel scored the first two goals for the winners before Eric De Oliveira Pereira added a third in the 64th minute.   Leonardo Henrique De Souza rounded up the score for Al Markhiya in the 86th through a penalty kick.   Elneel earned Al Markhiya the much needed lead in the 31st minute as Al Markhiya took a 1-0 lead before the half time.   Al Shamal leveled the scores through Mohammed Hares Mohammed in the 49th minute, but just five minutes later, Elneel put Al Markhiya on top again.   Al Markhiya dominated the proceedings thereafter and enjoyed more than 60 percent of ball procession.   Al Markhiya will meet Al Khor in the pre-quarterfinal with Al Duhail clash next on the cards.
